As per the title, looking for "tall" / raised / comfort seat for the Multistrada V4, heated. I have a normal height heated seat if a swap was useful to someone. Otherwise, perhaps a Sargent seat.
Ah, thanks, I hadn’t seen that. It appears to be for a Rally, do you guys know if the seats are interchangeable between Rally and non-Rally?
The heated raised rider’s seat on the Ducati accessories page appears to be common across almost all the Multistrafa V4 range. I’d give a dealer’s parts department a ring to check. Craig and Luke at Moto Rapido (01962873981) are very approachable. Andy
They are interchangeable. I bought a Rally seat (59517421AA) which is 15mm higher according to various web pages. I bought it unheated (and therefore cheap at £60) to try it for height. For reference, my heated seat is a Pike Peak red/black one - 96880941AA, and standard height. My opinion is that +15mm is better, but definitely not the solution, and not worth £200 or whatever the new cost is. I would go +30mm: 96881151AB. The 'B' seems to indicate the higher one, but do double check! If you're near Banbury you're welcome to try my +15mm Rally one for a week or two.
Thanks for the info! I’m not too far from you, near Didcot. Appreciate the offer! I have my seat on the low setting as I find the airflow even with my bigger screen a bit noisy on the top of the helmet vents, but my inseam is long enough for the higher setting, so I could probably manage +15 to +20 if not +30 on the lower position, if I can get the wind noise as low as I’d like - been spoilt by a huge GS adventure screen and deflector! Working on the before I settle on the ideal seat.
I have a fix for that too! I have a low carbon screen you can try. Gen-u-ine Ducati. EDIT: Ah - hang on, that's the wrong way round for you. But actually, lower screens can give less buffeting because they end up aiming the main airflow to just below the helmet = no crazy head shaking.
